Setting Up a Custom Blog Content Syndication

There are several ways you can syndicate relevant content from other sources to appear on your blog. This allows you to not only get stuff from other sources that is relevant to your interests, but it allows you to share it with others and make your blog site an aggregator of content addressing your areas of interest.

Amanda Watlington at Blogs and Feeds provides one example using Feedroll, a free service for syndicating RSS news feeds on your website or blog. Her syndicated content is on the left column if you scroll down a bit.

John Maloney at KM Blog provides another example through the MyST Technologies platform. There are several content syndication topics in the right column of his blog under the heading Collabria Briefings. These include Communities of Practice, Business Blogs, and Social Networks.

This syndication is just one of a growing number of enhancements to blogs, such as audio, video, and tagging. I think it is only the beginning.

Thank you for pointing me to Feedroll.

I discovered your interesting site via a Google Gmail Daily Alert Service Subscription.

I added Lockergnome RSS and Atom Tips headlines feed to two of my blogology sites: Vaspers the Grate and Blog Core Values.

Looks nice, and the syndicated content is indeed relevant to my audience and myself.

I like how easy it was to Preview various sources for syndication, like Wired News, C|Net, Slashdot, Boing Boing, anil dash links, kottke remainder links, The Register, etc.

Much appreciated.

P.S. I'm putting your Portals & KM blog on my blogroll.
